Skip hire in Lancashire takes a particular shape in Morecambe: the 9 businesses on this page are mostly clearance crews, man and van outfits and collectors, with one container firm among them. Ace Skips is the one that hires out skips, rated 3.9 from 56 reviews. Everyone else loads the waste themselves, which suits a householder who wants a room, a loft or a garage emptied without a container on the drive.
Ace Skips works across North Lancashire and South Cumbria, reaching Kendal, Kirkby Lonsdale and Ingleton as well as Morecambe. Sizes run from 2 yard minis up to 12 and 16 yard maxi skips, with roll-on roll-off containers for bigger jobs and extras such as skip cradles and lights.
